Kim and Putin to Join Xi in Show of Unity at Beijing Military Parade
Mint Bangalore
|August 29, 2025
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plans to join Russia's Vladimir Putin at China's grand military parade in Beijing next week, in a show of unity and defiance of the West.
The parade on Wednesday will be hosted by Chinese leader Xi Jinping and is set to be the trio's first event together, providing powerful optics as Beijing asserts itself as a leader of countries seeking to upend the U.S.-led international order.
Yet the potential for the three countries to build on the moment faces limits, as each pursues its own agenda with the U.S. A summit between President Trump and Xi before the end of the year is possible, as China seeks a reduction of U.S. tariffs.
Trump is also holding out the possibility of better ties with both Russia and North Korea. He met Putin recently in Alaska to discuss the war in Ukraine and earlier this week said he would like to meet Kim again, after meeting the North Korean leader three times during his first term.

In India's car labs, Chinese models new benchmark
Walk into the vehicle development centre of any major Indian carmaker and you'll find dozens of rival cars stripped to their bones, engineers poring over every exposed circuit, nut and wire. Such 'benchmark-ing' helps companies understand why some models work while others don't, track technology trends, and plan their own vehicle roadmaps.
